Synopsis
Recent advances in standard and structured fibers are driving a new wave of innovation in nonlinear optics, quantum technologies, and optical sensing. This Session will focus on emerging fiber architectures, light–matter interactions in microstructured and gas-filled fibers, and their applications ranging from ultrafast pulse dynamics and supercontinuum generation to quantum light delivery and distributed sensing. The session aims to foster cross-fertilization between novel fiber designs, nonlinear optical phenomena, advanced materials, and cutting-edge photonic applications.
